Pain Relief Device for ​Bruxism TMJ Headache Migraine Caused by Tight Jaw Muscles. Use it to Passively Stretch and ​R​elax Your Jaw Muscles. We Call it Yoga for The Jaw

I've been a teeth grinder since I was young, suffering from headaches, muscle tightness and wear on my teeth as a result. My dentist recommended a night guard because of the extent of wear to my teeth which had begun to get tiny chips. The night guard did nothing for my muscle tightness and pain and I'd sometimes wake up with terrible headaches from gripping my jaw at night. I had the good fortune to learn about this small, elegant, portable device- such an incredible difference! It is truly like night and day- the occasional passive stretching habit is something I look forward to. It feels amazing to have a way to relax and stretch my jaw and reminds me how often I was grinding my teeth! It is helping me to form new habits that involve relaxing and mindfulness, and I am incredibly grateful for this simple solution that is helping me to address the problem directly, instead of chasing symptoms.

I don't normally take the time to write reviews, but I feel that I would be doing a disservice to others if I did not talk about this amazing device. I suffered from chronic tension headaches for as long as I can remember. They could pop up at any time, but usually occurred upon waking. Certainly not a great way to start the day and these headaches would often prove to be debilitating. I tried everything I could think of from homeopathic remedies to prescription medications, but nothing worked. I ate ibuprofen like it was candy even though I knew it was not good for me.I recently noticed that I was also experiencing TMJ pain during these episodes, but I had been having these problems for so long that I just never noticed it since I was focused on the headache pain. I came up with the theory that I was clenching my teeth during intense dreams, which then caused me to have debilitating tension headaches when I woke up in the morning. With this in mind, I started to look for devices that would help with TMJ with the hope that this would then alleviate the resulting headache. After trying two different custom night guards from my dentist without any improvement, I reached a point of true desperation. I thought that nothing would ever help me until I came across this crazy plastic thing on Amazon. The price seemed outrageous, but again I was desperate so I figured it would be cheaper than going to see a TMJ specialist and I could always return it if it did not work out.I waited to post this review until I had sufficient time to really test it out and I can only say that this is a miracle for me. I've gone from having severe headaches 3 to 5 times a week to almost ZERO headaches! I use it two to three times a day and keep it on my nightstand if I happen to wake up in the middle of the night with one. There have been a couple of occasions where I started to develop a dull headache in the middle of the day and used this a few times to naturally make it go away! I've gone weeks without taking a single ibuprofen. Honestly, it's been a major game changer for me.If my story resonates with you, do not hesitate to take a shot with this weird little plastic miracle!

I’m so glad I trusted the reviews and decided to purchase this ! I haven’t been able to open my mouth more than 1 finger & been having extreme pain & tightness from TMJ. I’ve only been using it for 3 days and already see the results and able to stretch my mouth wider. The only thing I don’t like is that the case they give u for it won’t stay closed so it’s useless.

I have struggled with base of skull headaches and grinding my teeth at night for years. (I do not have have traditional TMJ pain in the jaw joint.) I have seen a chiropractor for this and he works to relieve the tension in the muscles of the jaw. That helps, but it's time consuming and expensive in the long run. This device has helped tremendously. My base of skull headaches are much rarer now as is the tooth pain that results from grinding my teeth. I get lazy about consistently using the Gentle Jaw and a few days into that I'll have a headache reminding that it's important to continue using it.Also, I had trouble with the case staying closed so I contacted their customer service. They were very responsive and sent me a new case with no charge.

Ultimately you could open your mouth for a stretch and count to 30 several times a day and get the same results.This device works great to see progress through measurements or have a physical device to see as a reminder.Good idea, good product. Possibly overpriced. Do what works for you! You can reach goals through consistent stretching either way.

The item seems to be doing what it's supposed to and is stretching my jaw and relieving tension from clenching. The case that came with it won't stay closed, so it's essentially useless. For $80, I expected much better quality.
